Our values are built upon the foundation of our collective experiences as Pilgrims on the Camino de Santiago. In every decision we make and every action we take, American Pilgrims will strive to be in accordance with the values of community, service, gratitude, and simplicity. We are welcoming to all people and strive to create real opportunities for people to connect, grow and share in a meaningful way. We strive to create opportunities for people to help and support one another before, during and after their Camino experience. We embrace every opportunity to thank and be thanked for actions big and small. We always aim to concentrate on what’s important in life and to celebrate all we have while appreciating every situation.
American Pilgrims on the Camino is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization whose objective is to facilitate communication within the community of North American pilgrims, particularly those in the United States. American Pilgrims continually seeks meaningful ways to support the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
We have three principal goals: to support the Camino, to gather pilgrims together and to provide information.
